I live in shade...a LOT of shade. Bulb plants are eaten before they ever have a chance. For some reason the squirrels/vols/whatever it is that eats these, missed this one. It's the first time in 11 years I have EVER seen blooms on them. So folks, this is the extent of my blooms

I believe it's called Mountain Pinks. Stuff grows like crazy. If you need some ground cover, this is it. I ripped out about 8 feet from the front of the bed and gave it to a friend of mine. It was waay too much. I try to train it to look like it overflowing and cascading down the stone. Only flowers in early spring, then it's all green.

Those are "lily of the valley", do great in shade, and do self sew.It's a shame somethings destroying them. I would check with your local extention service to see what you could do to prevent that. Or put a piece of chicken wire just under the soil surface, or dig them up when finished blooming and store in cool dry place for next year.
